Comment from the author:

"What does Mottainai mean?" When my son asked me this question, I wasn't able to answer so I made the picture book "Mottainai Grandma".
"Mottainai" is not only about not doing wasteful things, but also about the respect for the nature, the lives you have and the gratitude for the people who made it.
In a nutshell, it is a respectful heart. If we have a sharing mindset instead of being selfish, we can make this world a better place with the heart of "Mottainai.
I believe that Mottainai Grandma is the one who tells the message which is necessary to the people in this era.
I am delighted that the message of "Mottainai Grandma" will be delivered as animation series to people all over the world.
